Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that ships entering the Strait of Hormuz must cooperate with the Iranian navy, amidst reports of a ship being seized near a UAE port. Iran claims the strait remains open for commercial ships under its naval oversight. This comes after the US imposed a counterblockade on Iranian ports, stranding thousands of ships. Araghchi, speaking at a Brics meeting in India, denounced US and Israeli actions, calling them violations of international law, and urged Brics nations to condemn these violations. He also warned the UAE that cooperation with Israel would not ensure protection. Meanwhile, a new UN Security Council resolution, sponsored by Bahrain and the US, condemning Iran's blockade is set for discussion, with Iran facing potential rebuff. However, Iran claims a deal with China has allowed oil tankers bound for China to pass through the strait since Wednesday, with China agreeing to limited charging, potentially undercutting US opposition.
